COACH'S COMMENT: "He's been great but that's due to him playing all summer. He's been determined since last season to come into this season ready to be one of the top golfers in the county. It's all his hard work. He played in tournaments all summer, and he's just a great leader. In practice, he practices hard, but in a fun way and gets the other to compete. He's been great, and I can't ask for anything more. You want your best players to work the hardest, which he does, and encourage the younger players, which he also does." -- Monroe coach Dennis Kelleher

FIRST TIME YOU SWUNG A CLUB: "I was four years old when I got my first club. No one ever actually gave me golf lessons, but my dad just kind of taught me and I basically learned by myself."

EAGLES: "I made eagle at Forsgate last year. I put it within a foot on the third hole. I also got a hole-in-one on a par 3 at Tamarack on the ninth hole."

BEST ADVICE YOU'VE RECEIVED: "To keep calm, play and just smile. You have to think about your next shot, not the one you just hit."

THE FUTURE: "I would like to teach golf. I plan on majoring in finance. My uncle manages golf courses, and I've always wanted to do what he does."

FAVORITE GOLFER: K.J. Choi. "He's always smiling no matter what, and he always does great things like donating. I actually ate dinner with him, twice. Once was at Plainfield Country Club. I was just in shock."

FAVORITE TOURNAMENT TO WATCH: The Masters

FAVORITE TOURNAMENT YOU'VE PLAYED IN: Cherry Valley

BEST COURSE I'VE PLAYED: Pebble Beach. "That's number one. I played there three years ago and played terrible. The wind is insane."

BEST MOMENT ON A COURSE: "At Cherry Valley, I made five birdies. When I was on the par 5, I knew I had to go for it, and I put it within five feet to set up for an eagle."

FUNNIEST MOMENT ON A COURSE: "When I fell into the lake at Concordia. I was practicing and just fell in. It sucked. I didn't finish the rest of the round, I just messed around."
